This small bisque porcelain doll, measuring approximately 5 inches tall, was made in Germany, as marked on its back.
The doll features molded and painted facial features, with painted eyes and a detailed mouth. The hair is rooted, medium brown and styled with soft curls. The doll is dressed in a simple orange cloth skirt, fastened at the back with a small nail, and is wearing painted orange shoes. The arms are molded in a bent position, as part of the iconic style seen in early 20th-century German dolls.
Dolls of this style and material were produced in Germany from the late 1800s into the early 1900s and are prized among collectors for their craftsmanship and historical significance. This example retains its original factory hair and painted details, showing age-appropriate wear and surface dust, and represents a charming piece of dollmaking history.
